      COP30 presents a pivotal moment for the climate sector

      COP30 is set to be a landmark event in the global fight against climate change, coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of the Paris Agreement and the five-year countdown to the 2030 interim deadline for achieving climate goals by 2050. Serving as a crucial platform for establishing a roadmap to 2030, COP30 will also shine a spotlight on the Amazon rainforest, which is home to 60% of the world's largest intact forest and plays a vital role in global biodiversity and climate regulation.

      As the climate crisis accelerates and geopolitical complexities emerge, KPMG is working to prepare a thoughtful program and presence that can help businesses better understand their nature- and climate-related risks as we work together to tackle climate change. Every business has a part to play and we want to help with this critical endeavor in any way we can.


      KPMG’s areas of focus at COP30

      At KPMG firms, our climate leaders are focused on the client issues that matter most, and we plan to carry these through everything we do at COP30 this year.

      With the goal to educate and inspire, and seize opportunities presented by the transition to a more sustainable future, our focus remains on:

      • AI, the energy transition and climate action

        The convergence of AI, escalating energy demands, and climate change has emerged as a critical economic and geopolitical topic, with significant energy requirements associated, but also the opportunity to embrace a new wave of innovation.

      • Transition planning

        Credible and transparent climate transition plans can help companies enhance resilience, create and protect value, and drive growth by focusing on mitigation and adaptation strategies.

      • Financial valuations

        Financial valuations need to better reflect climate-related risks and opportunities. This can enable these risks and opportunities to be properly factored in to strategic planning to help create long-term value creation and protection.

      • Climate adaptation and resilience

        Adaptation and resilience are crucial to protecting lives and livelihoods, and can help ensure businesses thrive. This is a fundamental part of a robust transition plan.

      • Nature and biodiversity

        Nature is a key lever and enabler to climate transition plans, and it’s critical for business to understand actions they can take to access transition finance, and understand how to navigate and align with government policies, while also creating win-wins for climate and nature.

      • The climate: Health nexus

        The climate crisis is a health crisis and addressing this intersection is a powerful way to help catalyze climate action as conversations move from challenges to plans leading to a healthier future.
